Should "Press play on" be "Press plays on"?

Context:

The pair included biological weathering in one modelled Earth, and left it out of another. Press play on both Earths at 4 billion years ago, and for the first 1.5 billion years, there is very little difference between them. By about 2.5 billion years ago, early continental plates emerge above the ocean, regardless of life. But then, everything diverges.
